MACHINE FOR PASTING THE INNER BOXES OR SIiIDES OF MATCH-BOXES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 19, 1.906. Serial No. 339,735.

- engineer, and resident of Mariedal, Sodertelje, Kingdom of Sweden, have invented new and useful Improvements in Machines for Pasting the Inner Boxes or Slides of Match-Boxes, of WhlCll the following isa specification. I

As is well known, the slides of match boxes are made of previously'cut and scored side and bottom chips together with paper drawn from a.roll by coiling the side chips upon a rotary mandrel' and winding the paper strip (previously coated with a uniform coat of paste) around the. same, and then inserting the bottom chip andpasting the projectlng portion of the paper over this bottom.

The machine which forms the subject of the present invention comprises a number of improvements which render it better and more efficient than other machines of the same type previously constructed. First, a device is provided for pasting the ends of the paper firmly after they have been :wound around the side chip in the manufacture of the slides. This device consists of a presserhead which rolls'unde'i' pressure without (or with but slight) friction over the slide so as to effect the pressingon of the ends of the paper. For the purpose of feeding the bot.- toms there has been employed hitherto a rectilinearly moved slide which by means of a projection takes the bottom chips one by one from the end of the receptacle containing said chips and conveys them in a straight row to the point required. The improved machine has been simplified in this respect insofar as a lever pivoted at a fixed point is used instead of the slider, and the holding of the bottom firmly in place against the coiling mandrel is effected by means of a vacu um. Finally, there is also provided a device, consisting of two spring arms for -the purpose of pushing the slides off the mandrel. Hitherto the slides have been pushed off by means of a suitably recessed plate which, however, after long use, does not fit against the mandrel with the requi-- site accuracy. fIin the accompanying drawings, which .9 shows the head of strip with a uniform coat of paste.

illustrate the construction of the improved and 6 show on a larger scale, in elevation and plan respectively, the device for pressing up the end of the paper. Figs. 7 and 8 are respectively a side and front elevation of the device for feedin the box bottoms. F igl the mandrel with the recess wherein the vacuum is produced. Fig. 10 is a second modification of this head.

-Figs. 11 and 12 show, in two views at right angles to each other, the device for stripp ng the slide from the mandrel. Fig. 13 is a section on line EF of Fig. 12.

The paperroller 1, carrying an endless strip of paper, is journaled at 2, and from Patented Dec. 14., 1909. I

it the paper strip 3 passes, through' the asting apparatus l, to the mechanism .5 W ich feeds the paper toward'the coiling. mandrel 6. During this movement the pasting apparatus 4 coats the upper side of the pa )er he mandrel 6 is angular and mounted to rotate.

The previously cut and scored side chips arestacked in the storage rece tacle 7, While the cut bottom chips are placed in the receptacle 8. A slide 9 takes a side cliip from the storage receptacle 7, at every revolution of the machine, and feeds it to the coiling mandrel G where it is held by a flat spring 10.

Then the coiling mandrel 6 rotates and the roller 11 moves upward to press the pastehearing side of the paper strip 3 against the 7 side chip which isbeing coiled ar d the mandrel. The-pressing roller-11 is. operated by a cam 12 through-the medium of the bel crank lever 13 under the influence of the .spring 14. By the side of the mandrel is provided a presser head 14, which is mount-*- ed elastically, by means of a spring 15, in a bolt 16 and rotates with the latter aroundthe shaft 17, Figs. 5 and 6. The shaft 17 which I forms a pivot for said presser head receives its motion through toothed wheels 18 from the main shaft 20 of the'machine, which tis provided with the belt pulley 19, Figs. 1 and 2. The mandrel 6 which carries the slide,

is rotated at a corresponding speed so that the presser head rolls under spring pressure overthe track Where the paper is to be pasted on. The rotation of the resser-head and of the mandrel takes place in the direc- 'tions indicated by the arrows, The said presser-h'ead prevents .the paper from slipping on the chip while the paper is being pasted on the chip/because said head presses the front edge'of the paper. Well against the chip. A cutter 24 and a comb-like roller 25 are provided for the purpose of cutting oil the paper. For this purpose the cutter is operated concurrentlywith the circular cam :12 by means of the lever 26. The roller 27 presses the cut-oii end of the paper againstthe chip.

The bottom of the slide is inserted by -means of a lever 28 which can rotate with the'shaft 29 which forms a pivot for said' lever '(Figs, 7 and 8). The head-3O oi the lever is formed as a sector of a circle and .has on it's plane end surface a prominence or tooth of the thickness of the bottom chip,

so that each time it passes by the receptacle 8 containing the bottom chips, it carries forward with it a chip and feeds the latter to the coiling mandrel 6 where the side piece of the'slide is already located. The movement of the lever 28 is efiected by means of a crank pin 31 which is mounted on the main shaft 20 of the machine and. which projects through a slot 33 in a lever 32, also mounted on the shaft 29.

The holding of the bottom (which has been taken" from' the receptacle 8 in the manner just described) in front of the-coiling mandrel, is ellected by means of the head of a plunger 39 which is situated opposite the coilin mandrel 6, and which as shown at 34 in Fig. 9, is slightly recessed. The re cess is connected, by a duct 35 and by the ipe 36, with an air pump 37 likewise driven min the main shaft (Figs. 2 and i). The.

recess 34 may, as shown-in Fig. 10, be closed in front bya perforated plate 38. .The air pump produces a vacuum in the recess 34, so that the bottom of the slide is held (as long as necessary) on 'the'plun er 39. The

finished side piece of the slideiis thereafter slipped off the coilin mandrel 6 and on to ,the plunger 39, an thus the bottom is brought into its proper position relativel to the slide. This slipping movement-is e dllof angular shape mounted on the tongs- Ilegs 141, which latter are pivoted at 42; The pivot pins 42 are mounted on a sleeve 44 which is capable of sliding on the shaft 43 of the mandrel 6; this sleeve being moved to and-fro by a carrier l5 actuated by the circular'c'am 16. The plates 40 are caused ,fected by means of two spring push-plates to hear constantly with slight pressure against the corners of the mandrel 6 by the action of springs 47 which press against a shoulder of the )ivot head of the arms 41 (Figs. 1l13). he withdrawal of the plunger 39, after the ends of the paper have been struck up and V asted to the bottom, is efiected by means ot a circular cam 48, Fig. 1.

The operation of the machine is as ollows. The slide 9 takes from the storage receptacle 7 a finished, scored, side chip and feeds it to the coiling mandrel 6 where it is held by the spring 10, at the same time the end of the strip of paper 3 coming from the paper roll l, and coated. with paste on its upper side by passing through the pasting apparatus 4:, ispressed by the press roller 11 against the side chip and pasted firmly against the latter, whereupon, during the rotation of the mandrel 6, the pasting of the'paper strip around the chip is effected by the presser-head 14 and the roller 27. Thereafter the cutter 24 cuts off the strip, and

theroller 27 presses the cut-oi? end of the latter against the chip, so that the side portions of the slide are thus finished.- The lever 28 then takes from the receptacle 8 a bottom and feeds it in front of the plunger 3.9,where it is held by the vacuum produced by the air pump 3? in the recess 34. Thereupon the strippers 4L0 push the slide on to the oppositely situated plunger 39, and the ends 0 the paper arestruck up against the bottom and pasted. in the usual manner.-

The plunger 39 is then drawn back by the cam a8 and the finished slideis removed from the mandrel, and ejected, whereupon the series of operations is repeated.

N ow what I claim and desire-to secure by Letters Patent is the following: I
